Abstract:
... Three categories of seed storage behavior are generally recognized among plant species: orthodox, intermediate and recalcitrant. Intermediate seeds, such as Citrus, can withstand partial dehydration, but they cannot be stored under conventional genebank conditions because they are cold-sensitive and desiccation does not increase their longevity. Citrus seeds that are immersed in liquid nitrogen (L ...

Abstract:
... Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was added to aluminum/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (Al/PVDF) energetic blends to enhance melt flow rate and adhesion in a fused deposition modeling (FDM) manufacturing scenario. Composites were successfully printed with up to 30 wt% nano-scale Al after PMMA addition. Melt flow rate increased with increasing PMMA content. This resulted in a partially fluorinated binder ...

Impregnation time in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is directly proportional to resin viscosity and inversely proportional to fabric permeability, limiting the use of high-viscosity resins with conventional reinforcements. In this study, we show how to reduce the impregnation time in RTM by introducing a second solid phase (spacer) in the core of a fabric stack, fabricated by 3D-printing of a polyme ...

... Advances in cryopreservation of gametes indicate that slow cooling protocols will soon be replaced by fast cooling methods. Vitrification, a process in which liquid water is converted into a glass-like amorphous solid without any ice formation, normally requires plunging directly into liquid nitrogen in order to achieve high cooling rates. This leads to strong nitrogen vaporization around the samp ...

However, their strong tendency to self-associate, together with their highly hydrophilic character, has restricted the production of nanocomposites containing cellulose nanowhiskers by ...

Abstract:
... A new Nearctic species of the fungus gnat genus Palaeodocosia Meunier was discovered in western Michigan. Two adult males flew to a Malaise trap in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lambert) forest in early December, after the first snows of late autumn had melted. This brings the total number of known extant Palaedocosia species to four. Two are Palaearctic [Palaeodocosia alpicola (Strobl) and Palaeodoc ...

Abstract:
... The predictions of the crystallization temperature and the amount of precipitates of paraffin waxes at high pressure conditions may be inaccurate using existing thermodynamic models. This is mainly due to the lack of experimental data on the molar volume of solid paraffins at high pressures. This inaccuracy is even more pronounced for mixtures of high asymmetry. The present work provides a new acc ...
